A Secret Printed Years AGO.

Sioux City Special: The death OF Elihu
B. Washburne suggests page of history
which the Sioux City Journal prints for
the first time. Mr.. Washburne was ap.
pointed secretary of state by Grant as a
temporary expedient. The tacit, il not ex-
pressed, understanding was that Mr..
Washburne should hold tho secretary of
state office, but not undertake to
shape it's "fgolicy. as it was the
intention OF Gen. Grant to tender the
place to James F. Wilson, now United
States senator from Iowa. Mr. WASH
burne was appointed, but contrary to Mr..
Wilson's expectations, began at once to
effect a permanent organization of the Of
lice and to made foreign appointments.
Mr.. Wilson thereupon declined to consider
the subject further. Secretary Washburne
was soon sent to France and Hamilton
Fish succeeded him in the cabinet This
revelation comes from Senator Wilson.

Judge Rea OF Minneapolis, the Command

tertained at a camp fire oil Acker Poet, G. A.
II. ut st. Paul. On the subject OF pensions,
he said: 1t is sometimes said that the
Grand Army Is little too extravagant in
its demand for pensions. The grand COM
mandery has always resolved against all
kinds OF service pensions. but ask only for
pensions for needy and deserving All pen
sioners are put on an equal footing,
pensions not being paid for rank but for
the injuries they have received. They
have always refused anything that looks
like n compensation. All they ask is that
any man who made Gettysburg hallowed
ground or who fought at Mission Ridge
shall not end his days in q poor house.
